rejection stings

its like when you accidentally burn your wrist on the oven door, at first it stings, then your like oh its not that bad ill get over it, but then it gets annoying as it turns into a burn that blisters and eventually leaves a scare, its tiny and not noticeable, you'll probably forget its there until the next time you go to reach for something out of the oven, your more cautious, as you look at that little mark on your wrist, it doesn't hurt anymore but its not going away
